BA 4.6 Variant

Sept 2022 As Predicted - A New COVID Variant Is Here, BA 4.6 variant, And It 'Evades Immune Protection'

According to a report by NDTV, the new COVID-19 variant, BA.4.6 now accounts for more than 9 percent of recent cases across the US. The variant has also been identified in several other countries around the world. And guess what? As predicted, it “evades immune protection” from both the “vaccine” and natural immunity.

While BA.4.6 is similar to BA.4 in many ways, it carries a mutation to the spike protein, a protein on the surface of the virus which allows it to enter our cells. This mutation, R346T, has been seen in other variants and is associated with immune evasion, meaning it helps the virus to escape antibodies acquired from vaccination and prior infection.

It is not entirely clear how BA.4.6 has emerged, but it’s possible it could be a recombinant variant. Recombination happens when two different variants of SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19) infect the same person, at the same time,reported *NDTV.*
